How do I control my acquisition starting time?

    If you mean when the acquistion begins after the shot has completed, please see Greg Tchilinguirian or Paul Sichta. . To change trigger times for your digitizers, you may use TRAVERSER. Click on your device to select it, and then select "Setup Device" under the Data menu.

Can I run CAMAC programs from any computer?

    No. A CAMAC crate can only be accessed from one computer. Currently, most NSTX Diagnostic crates are accessed from the Linux computer skylark. The EPICS crates are accessed from Unix computers.
